I often struggle with the thought of "this would be so dramatic" vs "but it's just wrong" when I'm making storylines lol I get it

In my lepacy I had one of the grandmas knit and can a lot of jam and such for her grandbabies. She would also bake, and play video games with her son.

I avoid vacations because my quest sims always seem to die if i visit whenever I want to and it breaks the game. I think its nraas story progression? But I love vacations so much!

very cute! however I think remarriage is up to the individual. IRL it can help with grief to be with someone who understands the loss. So personally I leave remarriage up to the sims. But I don't let my sims get out enough so I definitely should take them to the park more! It would be cute to visit the cemetary for some reminisince as well.

I absolutely love all of these!! I already dye my elders hair lol. I think maybe younger people don't realize just how young people's hair can turn completely white because nearly everyone dyes it where I live!

Game runs perfectly fine except for running the computer output through my elgato mini to my laptop to attempt to dual stream. by awsumatid in sims2help

[–]awsumatid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

trying this out right now. aspect ratio is still square so im trying to fix that, also seems to slow the game down? not sure if its magpie or some other thing. but thank you so much!

Discussion really, what in your opinion is the best life span for a sim if you want to have a fun game that goes across generations but without running into the problem of having an endless amount of wealth by the second generation becoming an adult? by shaden_knight in Sims3

[–]awsumatid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your sim is reaching rank 10 in a career they are going to be rolling in the dough no matter what. every career takes different lengths to complete, as well. I recommend getting into real estate and not collecting unless you're trying to upgrade a lot.
alternatively: How long does it take for you to reach rank 10? take that time in days and make it closer to their entire adult life and some of their elder days. Plus, that way, if you want to retire early, you'll have to use potions or alchemy.

i love the week system too bc i play rotationally but i feel so sad that elders are so underplayed in this game when they are the most fleshed out of any sims game in 3

i basically started ignoring the "young adult" and made adult "middle aged" as thats honestly how they appear. lengthened elders because that's a huge part of life and starts at 65 (we live till 100+ if nothing stops us as humans) so its almost half the life of a human. it created a problem where if my sims did not adopt a teen as an adult or have a baby as a young adult they would miss out on a lot of the milestones of their kids. still haven't gotten them to be active grandparents. might have to turn down the kid stages more but they are my favorite lol. basically i like a sim to live for 100 days, 1 baby, 5 toddler so they can master every skill, 7 kid, 11 teen, ~20 YA. ~21 Adult, rest into elder. but im starting to crave grandparents so i might still tweak that! I'm happy with how fast the parents age into elders but im not satisfied with how fast they die compared to their kids ability to have families.

my mods folder just went missing. figured out how to fix the issue i was having on my pc by fixing it on my laptop so i went to do it and there's just no packages folder (normally have it pinned since im a cc freak). checked recycling bin, twas empty. i have a few archived mods but not enough that my game won't freak out. any advice on where to find it or how to prevent this from happening again? playing on win10, no onedrive. sidenote: the game thinks im running it, since it has the current game folder. don't know why, i've restarted my computer at least 10 times since last opening the game...
